Arsenal striker Bendtner willing to sign for smaller club

Although Bendtner has never lacked confidence in believing he is destined to play at the highest level, he has for the first time indicated his next move may not be to an elite European side.

"Will it be good for me to go to a big club where I risk the bench? No, I'd rather go somewhere where the club is located just below the top where I can play every week," said the Dane. "I can take a step back to take three forward."
